Do Red Hooks, Feathered, Trebles, and different retrieves make a difference? Matt explores these tricks and more as he teaches how to catch more topwater bass this late Summer and early Fall. Do you want to catch bigger bass on top? This will make all the difference!
As Spring turns to Summer the bass become more wary of topwater lures. As Summer fades to Fall it can be downright tough to fool the bigger fish. Making these subtle changes will maximize your opportunities and in some cases, will actually get you more bites.

@proteusxavier9477 6 лет назад

Last year around Halloween, I went to the dollar store and picked up a few coloured wigs - white, red, orange, green and black - and started making my own feathered trebles out of the material. It made such a difference on my walking baits, it was incredible. Only difficult thing was to get the density right. Too much hair could impede a good hookset. But a little bit of white here, a little bit of red there and you've got yourself the look of a bleeding tail fin. Great tips Matt!

Outstanding advice you and lake fork guy have helped me more then I can explain. I used to bass fish a lot in the 80’s and early 90’s but got injured on the kid in 97 an have not been able to fish until this spring. I sold all my fishing gear and now I’m starting to get some back. Maybe some day when I get better at it I can hook up with one of you guys and fish along side and learn even more. Thanks again for all your help

@CBALLZ666 6 лет назад

I did come across a pretty big school yesterday and my buddy and I smashed em on a worm bite. Nothing crazy big but all decent fish and it was so much fun. We doubled up twice and for awhile it was almost every cast we were getting bit. I love it!!!

@mr.fatbasstard648 6 лет назад

Two weeks ago that was the outside edge killer at the 4 minute mark!! The versatility on the dub tail is key. Stop and drop and back to the top. I have one on light wire and one on stout to change buoyancy and speed

@NamathCB 6 лет назад

I've been fishing less over the last 5 or 6 years due to a flood on Lake Champlain the took its toll on my boat and had a beautiful baby girl but anyway I LOVE popper fishing and don't claim to be great or anything but I am better than average on the surface. Favorite bait old diawa popper zero without question for my smallies. One thing I always made sure to do even though I'm not one to change out hooks I used xcaliber rotating trebles on my top water. Never noticed a lower hook up rate but certainly kept more of them on because of them. Try it

@PastorG16 6 лет назад

I agree, red hooks work. I also add red trailer hooks to chatter baits.

@shawnbeck2303 5 лет назад

I fished a lake that had tournaments. Every weekend from spring till late fall. I would go and sit on the rip rap dam. Fishermen would see me and say hi! Once they said hi. I would just say what you fishing with. They were more than happy to tell me. So when I went fishing on my days off during the week. I would go the opposite way on lures. I would just tear the smallies up. I would get a Rapala shallow diver with a down turned Bill and cast down the rip rap and let it bounce off the rip rap. The smallies would just go crazy. I would have to buy the whole rack of those down hill lures because the bill had a 90 degree bend and after a while the bill would break at the 90. Even with no Bill and bouncing it off the rip rap. They would still go after the small lure. I would change up the salamander color and rig. Texas to Carolina or just float the salamander over grass in front of rip rap dam. Or go live crawdads. Sure miss those days. Make you feel you have something nobody knows. Shawn

@everythingoutdoors-vl9bl 6 лет назад

@brandonjohnson1822 6 лет назад

Of all the RU-vidrs I watch (about 5-6 regularly) you guys are really the most informative. The others are more "entertaining"...but you guys are the ones that I really feel like offer me (a beginner) the most significant information on how to improve my odds of catching fish. I really enjoy the channel and thanks for the great content!

This is kinda like crankbaits for me. Still havent dabbled too much with it and I need to get set up for it. Thanks for the tips guys!!!👍🏻

@TCuv14 6 лет назад

Very excited for fall! Just got a bully wa frog and started throwing top water recently. Trolled around my buddies cove one morning this past weekend while throwing the frog. Got one blow up, but i think the fish kind of missed it, maybe slapping at it a bit like you said. I dont know... but I will not give up!!! Thank you for the great tips! I learn a ridiculous amount from your content.

@dirktucker77 6 лет назад

Thanks for the tips. I've been getting skunked out there, day after day.. Definitely ready to try something different.

@dgroves85 6 лет назад

The talk about red hooks is interesting. The last two times on the water I’ve out fished my fishing partner with top water baits. I can’t say specifically that it’s because of the red hooks on my bait. I’ve been throwing a plopper with red hooks while my partner has been throwing a Chris Lane Game Changer I believe, with regular nickel black hooks and a rover with regular nickel black hooks. But both times out I’ve been getting bit while he hasn’t. With the variables it could be his bait of choice or perhaps it has something to do with the red hooks. I don’t know....?

@davidalejandroglennieporra6678 5 лет назад

I few years ago I saw in a magazine,that drilling holes on the buzz bait blades improve the noise and help to get better results.Does someone of you have tried that?.

Great advice .... I'm struggling as of two weeks ago ... finally I get a good explanation on ... skirts, fathers on the hooks , and red hooks .... the fallow and swipe game is real lol great vid

@codyphillips7823 6 лет назад

GUYS IDEA! I think a video with examples on how you read clues the fish give you through out the day would be AWESOME! IE , how they eat the bait, when they eat the bait, if they want it slower or fast ETC. Thanks guys for enabling me to catch more and bigger bass. I absolutely love learning from you guys. thanks again

@oldhickory3028 6 лет назад

In late summer do you ever downsize your frog? Like a R2S bully 55?. And what about prop baits? I think the devil horse earned its reputation in Florida. But it's been a great late summer bait for me. Thanks TB Great information as always. God bless.

@Bluezkat1 6 лет назад

Great content as always Matt! Can’t get enough!! I know you guys have done these in the past, but I was wondering if you guys could do a top 5 or top whatever baits for late Summer/Early Fall? Got a trip coming up here in Mid September and would love to know what you guys do around this time of year. Thx buddy

@PrestonMartin 6 лет назад

Great vid. The little details matter. Makes sense. I was fishing on Monday for river smallmouth and got into an intense top water bite at 1pm in the afternoon with full sun and not a cloud in the sky. It didn't make sense to me, but I kept throwing a Lucky Craft Sammy. Any thoughts on what drove the smallies to behave that way? I didn't see bait fish anywhere. The only thing I could think was that my river is extremely mossed out on the bottom to the point where maybe the fish don't want to look down to eat. I was sight fishing them and the big ones ignored the Nedrig, dropshot for the most part, swim baits, senkos, etc, but they hammered top water.

@zachshott7833 6 лет назад

With the big Bubble Walker, are you guys typically using that particular bait when you want a faster or a slower cadence? I've got one in my box, but I haven't thrown it yet. I didn't realize it was as big as it is when I ordered it, and haven't found myself in the right situation to tie it on....

@duanetheimer7215 6 лет назад

Like the way you present you videos as teaching better ways to fish. We all can't afford all the high dollar gear, but it's a good way to tell us where to start at. Weed the junk baits out and fish with the best you can afford. Thanks.

@mikebarbieri8362 6 лет назад

I am new to fishing. Have a stupid question. How long do you stick with a bait or color before you change when what your using is not working?

@5280Bassin 6 лет назад

It's not a stupid question, it's a learning curve. Color doesn't matter specifically, just shading it seems, and that depends on water clarity and cloud cover. A bait you have a lot of confidence in, you can stick with all day (while trying others in between). Otherwise, I try not to stick in an area or a specific bait for more than 15 minutes. If you go to an area where you mark fish, or know they are there and make 15 casts or so with a single bait without a bite, change baits.

@mikebarbieri8362 6 лет назад

@jorgaba2865 6 лет назад

I should have watched this before going out to the lake this morning. I was using a dual-prop bait, and I kept missing hook-ups, and I had a few just get off on me. Now that I think about it, that bait has a red hook on the BACK, but not on the front...If I had seen this video first, I would have swapped front and back hooks...would I have landed a few more? Seems possible!

@kyleragan1457 6 лет назад

Here on Cumberland we don’t have grass. But we do have trees in the water. Will a frog still be a player or just a spook or popper or something like that?

@5280Bassin 6 лет назад

Frogs work great around timber! Work them up and over. I actually like to cast OVER limbs that are just above the water. Drag the frog up onto the limb, then hop it off and either let it sit for a moment or start walking it fast. I've had them eat it as it was falling into the water from the branch.

@kyleragan1457 6 лет назад

Thanks for the information guys and girls you helped me become such a versatile Angler, I'd like to plan a trip to come out and do some big swimbait fishing whenever the prime is so if you could let me know when that is and when I could book a trip I live out in Nebraska so the water temperature right now or 72 degrees and I was wondering what I should be throwing in that water temperature

@basscasters2185 6 лет назад

Jake orr dude just get hudds, glides and wake easy as that, s waver 168 and 200 life trout, hudd 68 perch and trout, Shellcracker G2 or Spro Rat, just go out and throw em, when I fish hudds I target trees and laydown, I cast to structure with my glides and wakes too, you can chuck and wind that works too but isn’t the best, target points, rockpiles, brushpiles etc

@shaunroberts9361 6 лет назад

Matt. Dude you are outstanding. This was great. I learned so much off this VLOG...Again thank you.

@stevelaforce7806 5 лет назад

I had a large wake come up behind my frog yesterday only to disappear as fast as she came up on it.

@davidmash1390 4 года назад

Steve LaForce I would keep it completely still if you see a wake come for it the maybe after 5 second pop it once or twice and it might trigger the fish to bite

@LastKastKing 6 лет назад

Is there a advantage of having a walking bait sit vertical in the water when it’s sitting still or should it lay flat on top when you aren’t applying action ? My preference is laying flat on top but I notice a lot of walking baits sit vertical in the water when they stop the motion is there a advantage or key to this way ?

@5280Bassin 6 лет назад

Many will hang tail down, about a 45 degree angle. If you have that feather treble on the back, the feathers will move a little bit just sitting still and that can tease a fish into biting.

@vinh4574 6 лет назад

Love your vids bro! I kayak fish whenever I can and being lower to the water would you thinks it’s more difficult to walk a frog or spook?

@charlesmizer2759 6 лет назад

Standup in the kayak if you have the capability, if not, get a shorter rod and you should be able to walk the dog fine.

@tjo-outdoors8514 6 лет назад

I know it’s off subject but I just received a cashion 7’4” med/heavy frog rod and it’s definitely not stiff enough for my liking and I saw you reviewed that rod not long ago. So main question would be is the Dobyns fury 735 a good bit stiffer than the cashion 7’4” med/heavy for frogging? Thank in advance.

Hey Matt I just joined a high school fishing team and I’ve never fished a tournament do you have any tips for tournament fishing ??

@5280Bassin 6 лет назад

From a tournament fisherman myself...Focus on fishing your strengths and keep a log. Being versatile is good, but fish what you have confidence in first and foremost. Just because someone says it should be a good deep bite on ledges doesn't mean you have to try to go fish ledges if you never have before. As for the log, track some basic details. Note every catch, species, body of water, depth, water and air temps, weather conditions, date, bait style and color. After a couple years, you'll notice patterns developing specific to your fishing and your lakes which will help you simplify tackle and locations.

@gcflyfishing3132 6 лет назад

Thank you so much for the tips

@adamknoblock7303 4 года назад

You guys must have some busy lakes over there. In Michigan, they are busy, but usually not a ton of bass fisherman, just tons of jet skis etc....which is equally annoying.
